i forgot

I walked until my heart was weary

With all the cares and hopes we had

Because it took so long I fainted 

With sorrow on the road with no sight

Of rest or relief I lay myself down 

For just one moment longer than I should

And I forgot for a moment, a mere pause really, 

Of why I fought so hard 

Of why I stood on my raw and thrashed feet 

For so very long

I forgot what it feels like to be loved

Because the love I need has never 

Shown its face to me
